Hi, please note that you have opened a second chat window. You will need to click the "My Activities" tab to see that you have 2 chats. Click on the second one, and cancel it.
I found the below pic that may hael a little. I will look for some better ones though. Hopefully you can see what is wrong when you get the covers off the column. If you aren't sure what is wrong, please do get back to me and maybe send a picture of what you are looking at, if possible.
If your column looks like the one below, the switch is right behind the key barrel and is likely the source of the problem. If you take the switch out, try to turn it thru the various positions. If it turns freely, you can test it. The problem may also be with the steering wheel locking linkage. I forgot to ask you if the steering wheel locks. If not, the linkage may be the problem. With the switch removed, see if you can manipulate the linkage to lock the steering wheel--this will show you if there is an issue with the locking linkage.
